Position Overview

We are looking for a Network & Security Engineer to join our team. Our solutions range from our own national optical transport network and in-house developed, fully automated ‘Connectivity Core’ IP services delivery platform to managed networking and security solutions for our customers. You will interact with our customers to design, deliver and manage custom-built solutions over these core networks.
Security is an important part of those customer solutions. Fortinet is our primary platform for managed firewall and security services, but we value the underlying networking and security knowledge more than experience with one specific vendor. If your experience comes from Palo Alto, Cisco, Sophos or another serious enterprise security platform, we are interested in what you know and can help you learn our technology stack.
You will still work across a broad networking landscape. Depending on the solution, this can include routing and switching, firewalls, VPNs and segmentation, SD-WAN and SASE, as well as integration with our own IP and optical networks.

Responsibilities:

You'll start the day with a stand‑up call where, after a quick chat with the team, we take turns to talk about our upcoming day’s activity. Depending on your day this could be one or more of the following;

• Join our Service Implementation Team in delivering custom‑built customer network and security solutions
• Collaborate with our product team and keep our managed networking and security portfolio fresh and up‑to‑date with new (add‑on) services
• Engage with our sales and pre‑sales teams and visit customers in the design phase where complex network or security solutions are required
• Make sure you (or anyone else) are not doing repetitive tasks and talk to our automation team to streamline process
• Work together with the support team to resolve more complex customer changes or incidents involving networking, firewalls and security, and provide mentoring and guidance to that team
• Coach and mentor colleagues within and beyond the networking team by sharing your unique perspective and expertise

Profile

• A passion for networking and security, with hands‑on experience with an enterprise firewall or security platform such as Fortinet, Palo Alto, Cisco, Sophos or a comparable vendor
• A proven history in designing, managing or troubleshooting complex and highly available customer networks
• A vendor‑agnostic approach: you understand networking and security concepts beyond the configuration syntax of a single vendor
• A strong desire to collaborate with colleagues and customers and translate requirements into practical technical solutions
• You feel comfortable working in a dynamic, ever‑changing environment
• Working knowledge of next‑gen firewalls, enterprise security policies, IPsec VPNs and network segmentation
• Working knowledge of networking standards and protocols such as NAT, VLANs, VRRP and BGP; experience with MPLS, EVPN or VXLAN is a plus
• Experience with SD‑WAN and/or SSE/SASE is a plus; experience with FortiGate, FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer is particularly useful in our environment
